Just the GH nutes, I keep seeing mycorrizhea made by extreme gardening and was thinking about adding some of that. And maybe another air pump to add some oxygen to the roots

Over night the temps are around 63 and durning the day around 68. There was one day they got to 73 but I quickly got them back down and that was at the surface of the water so I imagine below it was a bit colder

does it just have one air pump? how many air stones and what size?
more DO in the res is never a bad thing.

There are no air stones in the ecogrower, it's aerated through the drip emitters it's just one air pump

interesting. so the air pushes the solution thru the emitters.
have you searched other forums to see if people have added a second airpump/airstones and if it helps/hurts/etc?? maybe it would interfere with the operation of the drip system?
plants look good too by the way.

I replaced the GH air pump yesterday with a dual port air pump and added an air stone to the solution, I also added a tbls of H2O2 29% as this is the highest I could locate. The dual port air pump is very powerful and I may add another air stone with the GH air pump. Curling has seemed to have stopped progressing, for now
Res temp this morning was 63
Room temp was 66 it's now 75
Humidity was 46 it's now 40
There will be a res change probably tomorrow and I was thinking of stepping down the nutes to 6-12
SME, Im getting quite the collection as far as nutes go GH micro,bloom,bloombastic , rootbastic, rapidstart,superthrive,calmag,floralicious floranova bloom,floranova grow,h2o2 29% and a bag of kool bloom. Any advice on what I should fill my nutes back up with? I'll get that picture of the roots when I change the res.

Those roots look great, you don't need to add any more h2o2. Some mykos+worm casting tea during res changes might help overall root and plant health though.
Maybe you just let them get too big for the EG this time, keep an eye on everything for the next few days and see how they like it after the changes.
